The Eloquent Woman's weekly speaker toolkit

Fans of The Eloquent Woman on Facebook see links to good reads, resources and ideas from other sources there, in addition to posts from the blog. But you won't miss a thing, since I'm summarizing that extra content and putting it here on the blog for all readers to see. Here's what I shared in the week just past:

• See inside your speaking head with this new MRI-made video that shows what it looks like inside when you speak or sing.
• Milestone: The Eloquent Woman Index of Famous Speeches by Women has raced past 170 entries. Please help us celebrate by sharing this resource.
• Silencers: "We think this data can be interpreted as a sign that many female computer science students feel uncomfortable speaking up, " say authors of this new research on the pervasive bias against female computer science students.
• Did you miss? Last week, we shared 3 easy, evidenced-based ways to calm your speaking nerves, and our Famous Speech Friday looked at Maryland State Attorney Marilyn Mosby and her statement on the Freddie Gray homicide.
• About the quote:  From our board of great quotes by eloquent woman on Pinterest: Classics scholar Mary Beard reminds us just how long men have been telling women to be quiet.
